Great write-up, but I admit that I found the interweaving of human and AI-written content/headlines/summaries pretty distracting. I kept on wanting to scroll past, but had to keep on backtracking to find the human thread again.

I think if you want to give your reader a quick intro to, e.g., what is the Adam optimizer, a simple link to Wikipedia is fine. No need to copy-paste an AI tutorial on Adam into the blog post.

To be fair, you can easily click to hide those expanded sections. I found it a neat compromise between "Link to (usually) obtuse Wikipedia article" which aren't usually written for laypersons, and forcing me to read through stuff I already know about, I just hid the sections I already understood but found value in the others.
I came here to say the same thing. Claude’s voice was pretty evident, but became actually grating when the header was “The Fix”.
